Abstract
This study comprises of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach to optimize a constrained portfolio for maximum return with an acceptable risk for Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) assets. The portfolio selection model used in this paper is based on the classical Markowitz mean-variance theory enhanced with exogenous influence of floor and ceiling. The results are compared with MS Excel Solver (Solver). It is found that the model works well under the influence of a high probability of local minima.
